was talking about the jug with squaddies the other night, we came to the conclusion that theres no tricks or shortcuts for fighting in the jug, you just have to do the standard ACMs, but do them well.
this means keep it within its envelope, and fly it clean (ie. as far as possible dont scrub off your E unecessarily, fly coordinated, only use a much flap as you really need, lots of lag pursuit, only load the airframe when you have to, keep it fast etc.)
you also have to be aggressive and really take the fight to your opponent, you cant sit back and see whats going to happen next and then react to it, because you dont have many options to get you out of trouble when you lose the advantage. try to stay one step ahead of the fight, and use the guns to intimidate - no one wants to get in the way of 8x.50cals.
btw lilmak is also good in a jug
